GAGDI MOURNS SEN. MANTU, SAYS NIGERIA HAS LOST A GEM
The member representing Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Rt Hon. Yusuf Adamu Gagdi, has commiserated with the government and people of Plateau State, Pyem Traditional Council and the Mantu family over the death of the Wazirin Pyem and former Deputy President of the Senate, Sen. Nasiru Ibrahim Mantu, who answered the ultimate call in the early hours of today, Tuesday 17th August, 2021 after a brief illness.
The lawmaker describes Mantu as a rare gem and a political colossus of inestimable worth, whose gigantic shoes can never be befittingly worn by any politician in the state.
Eulogising the virtues of the late senator, Gagdi said Mantu has left an indelible mark in the political history of Plateau state, with one of the greatest achievements that can hardly be surpassed by any living politician in the state. He said Mantu had touched lives across the 17 local government areas of the state, despite he was the senator representing the Central zone of Plateau.
Recalling his recent encounter with the deceased at a function at International Conference Centre in Abuja two months ago, Gagdi said he was encouraged by the kind words of the late senator, who said he was impressed by his (Gagdi’s) performance and charged him to sustain the tempo.
Gagdi said the late senator had expressed his desire to meet with him, alas! the meeting was never to be.
The member representing PKK regreted his inability to meet the late senator, as he requested, but hopes to meet him in Jannutul Firdausi.
Gagdi prays Allah to grant the late senator Jannutul Firdausi, and also grant the immediate family, political friends and associates the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable lost.
